E. H. AULL, EDITOR.
Friday, February 17, 1911.
We note that on the test vote on th(
proposition to bar the State ball fror
the hall of the house, Representa
tives Kibler and Wyche were for th(
resolution and Representative Mowei
is not recorded as voting. Oh! tc
have had a Higgins -there to defea1
the resolution! After all, why nol
have continued to let the ball be helk
in the thouse? The poor old hall need
some light and gaiety after thE
weighty and ponderous debates in
dulged in by the members, some oi
which have no dgubt caused Webstei
and Clay and our own Calhoun tc
turn green ii1j their graves with envy.
if the dead ever do such things. Bul
no doubt Representative Daniel, thE
author of the resolution, felt the call
of statesmanship when he sat hi
down to prepare that resolution, th(
conception and the carrying into exe
/euton of which will easily place hir
among the immortals.
We venture the guess that if Gov
ernor Blease appoints any specia
judges they will be of his own choos
jn~ -
ing,.
The members of- the general assem
bly seem to enjoy voting for an as
sociate justice.
The Commercial league of Prosper
ity urges that Newberry let th(
Southern Power company in, believ
ing that the operations of the com:
pany in Newberry will benefit noi
only this city, but ali contiguous ter
ritory. This is the correct, view, and
we congratulate Prosperity upon a
commercial organization. alive to thE
issues of the day. By the way, we
can't recall for the moment just wha1
the action of the Newberry chamber
of commerce was in regard to this
matter.
Senator Tillman says 'he knows the
constitution doesn't mean what 11
says, because he bossed the framing
of it
Several trustees have resigned be
cause 'they are holding other posi
tions. We suppose Captain Jno. G
Richards agrees with Senator Till
man that collegie trustee is not an of
fice as we have not seen n:s resigna
tion either as college trustee or rail
road commissioner.
The peo-ple aleng the road fron
Greenvile to Co!umbia are respect
fully requested to let The Herald anm
News know whether or not they art
interested in good roads, and if the:
are willing to co-operate to secure
good road. It is all very easy if th<
people so will it.
Mayor Langford told us some tel
days ago that the light in Frien<
street would be put up at once. WI
have not seen it. We suppose tha
time is not the essence of a coiitract
and we would be pleased to' have thi
mayor advise what at once means.
It is stat a that the appropriatio.
bill this year in the legislature wil
go beyond two million. We believi
that every thigher institution of learn
ing has made demand for additiona
buildings, and the deman'd has bee1
granted.
Senator Mauldin, chairman of th
finance committee of the senate say;
if these extra appropriations remair
it will be necessary to levy a si:
mills tax.
The farmers of this section hav
done more plowing that gives evi
dence of making a crop than we hav~
ever seen up to t.his time of the yeal
Senator Tillmnan's excuse for viola1
ing the State constitution is that h
he?>ed to frame it, and, of cours
would not have put anytniing in
which was intended to legislate hi:
out of office, and. ~ th ref, heo COI
chudes that the two office inhibitio
in the constitution coes not includ
college truste"'s. If a college truE
t not annofiicer and Ooes not hol
a position under th*s State, then We
take it that the college trustee is a
nonentity.

FOR YOUR HAIR.
Here Are Facts We Want You to
Prove at -Our Risk.
When the roots of the hair are en
tirely dead and the pores of the scalp
are gl,azed over, we do not believe that
anything can restore hair growth.
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic acts scienti
fically, destroying the germs! which'
are usually responsible for baldness.
It -penetrates to the roots of the hair,
stimulating and nourishing them. It
is a. most pleasant toilet necessity, is
delicateiy perfumed and will not gum
nor perm.ancily stain the hair.
We want you to get a bottle of Rex
all "93" Hair Tonic and use it as di
rected.. If it does not relieve scalp ir
ritation, remove ddndruff, prevent the;
hair from falling out and promote an
increased growth of hair and in every
way give entire satisfaction, s-imply
come back and tell us and without
question or formality we will, hand
back to you every penny yo'u paid us
for it.
We leid our endorsement to Rexall
"93" Hair Tonic and sell it on this
gaarantee, because we believe it is
the best 'hair tonic ever discovered.
It comes in- two sizes, prices 50 cents!
and $1.00. Remember you can obtain
it 'only at our store. Gilder & Weeks.1
